Ethan Bronner reports that the "Palestinian-led" International Solidarity Movement (ISM) protested "the extension of Israel's separation barrier in the West Bank" on Friday. ISM was “protesting the extension of Israel’s separation barrier in the West Bank.”
Yet, Bronner provides no details on the extension of the barrier - where it had been, where it was going, and, most crucially, why it was being moved.
As the article reveals, ISM has a fundamental motivation for its actions, which has nothing to do with barrier extensions. It “opposes Israel’s occuption of the West Bank" and "leads demonstrations against the barrier every Friday at several West Bank locations.”
The reader wonders whether ISM is protesting:
1. "The occupation"
2. The barrier
3. The extension of the barrier
Based on Bronner's report any - or even all - three may be the target. The real mission of ISM demonstrations appears to be the vilification of Israel.
